Bluehole has released the third patch for the PC version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and similarly to the previous patch, this new update further improves the game’s client performance. Bluehole has implemented multiple pre-match starting areas which will most probably improve overall performance.
Since there will be multiple pre-match starting areas, the game will not display simultaneously its massive amount of players on screen. Theoretically, this will lead to noticeable performance improvements in the game’s starting area.
Bluehole is also looking into the mediocre airplane performance and promises to also address it in a future patch.
This third patch for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will also come with a new security (anti-cheat) measure.
This patch is currently available on the test server and will go live on the public server in a few days. Below you can find its complete changelog.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
